First public release of the 2026 assembly reconstruction of Code Probe 2.0 (1990). A 4 KiB machine-language monitor for the Commodore 64 that loads at $C000 on a stock machine and is invoked from BASIC with SYS 49152. No cartridge or memory expansion required.

Features

  • 11 commandsA (alter), D (dump), R / RF (registers and flags), F (fill), T (transfer), G (go), S (save), L (load + directory), CLS, EXIT.
  • Hex dump with PETSCII sidebar at 8 bytes per row.
  • Interactive alter mode with cursor navigation and auto-commit at ten bytes per line.
  • Shadow-register dispatch via RTI — user routines return to the monitor through BRK, with live CPU state captured back into the shadow block.
  • Disk I/O at device 8 — PRG and SEQ save / load, directory listing.
